| Here's a group shot of the bears who came into being since I made the last bear page. | Sara Curry (with hat) and Curry Wellman are impressed by how twins can turn out so different. (That's a joke. They know fur doesn't make twins, only a pattern can do that.) | Osalinda (left) and Leo Tam really are siblings, though different sizes (and, of course, furs). Osalinda is taller by, as she puts it, "a good half an inch" -- which makes her a still-dainty seven and a half. |

| Callahan (larger) always looks like she's in motion. If bears could fly, she'd be on her way around the world. Kathie is smaller in size, but you'll notice that she keeps up. | Barzi is 14 magnificent inches of huggable tie-dye (lovingly dyed at home), here keeping an eye on little Jones, who tends to get bright ideas and go rushing off in all directions. | |

| Jodal is an old-fashioned bear, as you can see by his center-seam head and long nose. In person, you quickly realize he's old-fashioned on the inside, too: steeped in the lore and dedicated to fulfilling the teddy bear's mission. | And finally, here's what I discovered on the front porch when I returned from escorting the other bears back into the house. They do love to pose. | |
